Several people have asked about Kevin’s school experiences thus far. Since he barely has time to brush his teeth anymore, let alone blog, I figure I should keep you posted myself.
Yes, he studies pretty much every spare moment. He’s taking 15 credit hours and is working 20 hours. That doesn’t leave much free time.
The nice thing is that when he studies he’s usually at home. It’s not exactly “quality family time” but he is around and I’m glad. (Can you believe he can concentrate with the Meredith-factor? I can’t believe it, but he seems to manage.)
Some classes are interesting, he says, and other classes are painstakingly boring.
He’s mentioned on several occasions that he goes into class thinking that he understands things perfectly and then, after listening to the professor for two hours, ends up being thoroughly confused.
His favorite class is Civil Rights. He likes both the subject matter and the professor. Incidentally, the professor is the head of the Indiana ACLU. Despite opposing views on the constitution, Kevin says that the professor is a good teacher, he’s congenial, and he’s fair.

Today after class, Kevin had an on-campus interview with the Air Force JAG. When he told me he had this interview, you can imagine how thrilled I was. Frankly, I’m tired of moving (four times in four years of marriage) – the last thing I want to think about is being military.
“I’ve always wanted to be able to serve my country,” said Kevin. Apparently on the JAG website it says that you’re a “soldier first and a lawyer second.”
I’m glad he had the interview and wants to serve his country and all but, like I said, I’m really tired of moving.
The end.

JAG?! Awesome...at least the TV show was my favorite!! ;-)
Well, having experienced moves from both the Air Force and non-Air Force perspectives (my dad was in the USAF so I moved every 8 months to two years my whole life, and have moved 5 times since college on my own) I can attest that moving with the Air Force is INFINITELY superior to do it yourself moves, even if you have movers. If you're in the military, the military sends movers to BOX UP YOUR STUFF, put it on the truck, then it shows up wherever you're moving to AND if something breaks, the military pays for it. I really took that for granted growing up!!!!!!
Moving since entering civilian life has been much much worse.
Anyway, all that to say that I think growing up as an Air Force brat was a great experience and worked out well for my family. Chances are, Hannah will never have the opportunity to live in Korea, or Germany, or all over the country, like I did, and that is kind of sad to me in a way. On the other hand, she'll have roots like Josh does, and it must be nice to be "from" somewhere!
I'm with you on the moving thing. And I don't think having someone move me would help that much. Fortunately there's no chance of DOB being considered for the military unless people are sacking and looting Cincinnati, in which case moving will be the least of my worries.
This is one of my deep, dark secrets, but I think I would love being a JAG. ;) Daniel's not so keen on the idea, though.
Usually true. Alhough from what I remember from talking to the JAG recruiters when I was in law school, Air Force will get you to Italy, England or Germany.
